The global spray dryer market size was valued at USD 1.15359 billion in 2022 and the market is expected to reach USD 2.2317 billion in 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.08% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

It is a device that atomizes a liquid or slurry to create a dried powder to dry it. It is frequently employed in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food sectors. Spray drying is a three-step procedure that involves heating the air to a predetermined temperature, atomizing the liquid or slurry, and drying the droplets. Preheating the air is the first stage in the spray drying process. Either a direct-fired heater or an indirect-fired heater can be used for this. The final temperature of the product will depend on the air's temperature. The liquid or slurry will then be atomized. A rotating disc atomizer or a nozzle can be used for this. The droplets must be dried in the final stage. This is accomplished by blowing hot air through the atomized liquid or slurry. The water in the droplets will evaporate due to the heat, leaving behind a dry powder.

They are used to turn liquids or solids into powder form after drying. It comes in various varieties, each with a unique set of benefits and drawbacks. The most popular kinds are the following:

1) Atmospheric Spray Dryers: It is the most straightforward and affordable. The air is dried in this kind of dryer at atmospheric pressure. Typically, burners powered by natural gas produce heated air. Atmospheric spray dryer benefits include minimal initial investment costs and straightforward operation. Due to the dusty nature of the drying process, disadvantages include high energy consumption and the requirement for regular filter changes.

2) Pressure Spray Dryers: These devices use high pressures, usually 2 to 15 bars. Compared to atmospheric spray dryers, this leads to a faster drying rate. Also, heat-sensitive materials that would be harmed by the high temperatures in atmospheric spray dryers can be dried using pressure spray dryers. Pressure spray dryers have drawbacks like requiring specialized equipment and more extraordinary operating expenses. 3) Flash Dryers: A pressure spray drier, flash dryers operate at extremely high pressures, often between 30 and 60 bar. The drying rate is significantly higher compared to another spray drier kinds. However, only materials that can survive the high pressures required are suitable for flash dryers.

COVID-19 Impact: The High Demand and Low Supply for the Product Hampered the Market Growth

The Covid-19 epidemic has significantly impacted sales. Since many businesses are trying to find ways to boost their production capacity in response to the outbreak, the demand for the product has dramatically surged. There is a lack of equipment on the market due to the supply of the equipment not growing at the same rate. Prices for both new and old devices have risen dramatically as a result. Lead times for new machines have also developed longer as manufacturers strive to meet demand. Thus, regarding availability and pricing, the Covid-19 epidemic has significantly impacted the market.

Latest Trends

"The Use of Technology Advancements to Boost the Market Expansion."

The most recent development applies cutting-edge technology to boost performance and save expenses. The use of high-efficiency heat exchangers, which can dramatically lower energy usage and operational costs, is the most widely used of these technologies. The use of programmable logic controllers to enhance performance and the inclusion of touch-screen controls for simplicity are additional advancements.

Driving Factors

"The Temperature Used in Drying Process to Propell the Market Expansion"

The spray drier is one of the sector's most versatile and practical pieces of machinery. From food to chemicals, they can dry a massive range of items. Temperature is one of the most significant aspects. The drying process must be carried out at a high temperature to evaporate the water content but not too high to harm the product.

"Airflow and Product Size to Fuel the Market Growth"

Airflow is yet another essential consideration. The air must move quickly enough to evaporate the moisture without blowing the product away.  The size of the product also influences the effectiveness of the spray dryer. Larger particles will take longer to dry than smaller ones. These are just a few essential elements that contribute to spray dryers' success. Keep these in mind if you're looking for a productive technique to dry your stuff!

Restraining Factors

"The Flammable Nature and Dust Generation Issues to Hinder the Market Growth"

A type of industrial drying apparatus called a spray dryer can be used to rapidly and effectively dry a range of materials. One factor limiting their usage is the risk of fire or explosion if the substance being dried is flammable or combustible. Another problem that can occur is dust production, which, if not effectively controlled, could endanger the health and safety of personnel. It is a valuable tool in many industries despite these possible concerns, and they can be used safely if suitable safety measures are taken.
